NR 1 hr 41 minMusic
The soldier Wozzeck Christian Gerhaher flits through a world that he is unable to decipher The doctor torments him with absurd medical experiments the captain humiliates and ridicules him And Wozzecks lover Marie GunBrit Barkmin with whom he has a child cuckolds him with the drum major Wozzeck becomes a murderer stabbing Marie to death Georg Büchners drama fragment on which Alban Berg based his first opera is an unflinching case study of social injustice and human suffering But it is also a grotesque piece that thrives on exaggeration and in which only a fine line separates the unfathomable from the ridiculous Accordingly director Andreas Homoki forgoes all realism
